What do you make of the fact that Founding Fathers Thomas Jefferson and James Madison ("Father of the Constitution") sent the military to war in the Barbary Coast without a formal declaration of war and no one batted an eye? It seems odd to me.

Dismayed and yet, not surprised in the least. The constitution has been violated to some degree in one fashion or another almost since its inception.
